Pachube gives people the power to share, collaborate and make use of information generated from the world around them. It is a web service that enables you to store, share and discover real time sensor, energy and environment data from objects, devices and buildings around the world.
Key Aim- Facilitate interaction between remote environments both physical and virtual.

Pachube is like a little Youtube. Except that rather than sharing videos, Pachube enables people to monitor and share real time environmental data from sensors that are connected to the entertainment.

Connections can be made between any two responsive environments facilitating even spontaneous or previously unplanned connections apart from being used in physical environments, it also enables people to embed this data i web pages, in effect to "blog" sensor data.
